At our next meeting on September 23, 2014 we will be having a low volume fat quarters swap. Alice
asked us to bring as many fat quarters that we want to exchange and you will go
home with that many.If you bring 3 fat
quarters, you will go home with 3 fat quarters.Low volume fabric is considered white, cream or pale grey with a print
on it that fades away.

Amy brought cupcakes and water to celebrate Phoebe and
Kelly’s birthdays.Thank you for
thinking of all of us.

Sandy and the Community Service committee will host the
October 18, 2014 Sew Day.You should
have received emails from the Modern Quilt Guild about the Quilt Con Charity
Quilt Challenge.Guilds are asked to
follow a predetermined color palette and quilts are to be made in the alternate
grid work design.The quilts will be
shown at Quilt Con 2015 in Austin, TX (February 19-22, 2015).After the quilts are displayed, guilds are asked
to donate it to a local children’s shelter.More information will be given to us at the next guild meeting in
